Blackbird - Of Heroes And Enemies

Kev Rowland

ImageImagine AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and Cold Chisel all joining forces to produce an album, and you may just get close to just how good this is, and the style of music they are playing. I’m still having hard times coming to terms with the fact that this is a debut, and it is even harder to realize that these guys are German, as they sound as if they have been brought up playing in the same pubs as Bon, Angry, Jimmy et al. This is good time rock ‘n’ roll, with stacks of balls and plenty of bravado. They know that they are going to be accused of following in the footsteps of Airbourne, and that anyone who plays music in this style are following a safe and trusted path, but there are elements of harmony in what they are doing that not only lifts this to a new level but away from the straight road that one might expect from this style of band.

Every song on here is a sure fire winner, and with an album that is under 40 minutes long the only thing to do when this comes to an end is to play it again. I sincerely hope that they come down to this part of the world and play some gigs as they sound as if they are going to have a party every night. There are times when all wants from music is a good time, and this albums delivers that from the beginning to the very end. This is something to make you smile and move to the beat, and who could want anything else?
